Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process in which I help the parties to identify and discuss issues of mutual concern, explore various solutions and develop a settlement that is mutually acceptable to the parties.
This process occurs informally with the parties and their lawyers present and participating.
If the parties reach an agreement, we can write a short settlement agreement, which is an outline of points on which the parties agree. Later, a formal settlement agreement and releases are prepared by the parties’ attorneys.
